I’m committed to running a positive campaign based on facts despite the misinformation being spread by Republicans and my opponent’s supporters.

So here are some facts you may not know about this race:

I’m a lifelong Democrat who has spent 20 years in the Hudson Valley showing up to advance progressive values and policies, support the LGBTQ community, promote unions, protect marginalized groups, and stand up to hate.

My primary opponent only became a Democrat a few years ago when his business partner ran for Congress.

I’ve volunteered thousands of hours for Democratic and progressive causes and candidates, including efforts to protect our farms and open spaces and promote smart growth in our community.

My opponent has not been involved in local or county politics.

When Delgado ran for Congress in 2018, I was there helping his campaign. My opponent did not show up to vote.

When Pat Ryan ran against Molinaro, I got involved. My opponent? A no-show at the voting booth.

In fact, my opponent has missed 65% of the political elections and 2/3 of the school elections he could have voted in.

Being a county legislator means working hard as part of a team to do what’s best for our county. That’s why I’m so proud to have received endorsements from so many of my fellow legislators who can attest to my years of hard work on your behalf.

In just the last 18 months, I led the fight against a sales tax hike, brought more mental health funding to our district, allocated $2M to reduce ambulance response times and worked to restore the county bus line after Republicans announced its cancellation.

But instead of standing together to face the Republicans in this time of crisis, some would rather divide us to exercise their personal grudges, promote their ambitions and control local party operations by eliminating an outspoken lefty and helping the GOP.

I have a proven track record of representing the people of our district and beating Republicans. This is not a safe district – it elected a Republican not long before I ran for office. We need a candidate who we know will work hard and show up to win in November.

Join me and my campaign and fight for our progressive values. Election Day is June 24.
